Becker was a high profile major network show which would have gone along with a major salary increase. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have ask to stay but written out of more episodes so as to not conflict with her Becker schedule.
“The problems with my leaving were with Rick Berman. In my opinion, he’s just very misogynistic. He’d comment on your bra size not being voluptuous. His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about, ‘Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there,’” revealed Farrell.
“And then I had to go into his office. Michael Piller didn’t care about those things, so he wasn’t there when you were having all of these crazy fittings with Rick Berman criticizing your hair or how big your breasts were or weren’t. That stuff was so intense, especially the first couple of years,” she added.
I was always under the impression that he sucked and was lucky to have had M Piller and J Taylor to find the soul of TNG era trek (ENT is what happened when they both left).
Like I said, he was a misogynistic jerk. But if she was so keen on leaving she wouldn’t have asked for stories to be re-written so she could stay on ds9 while doing Becker.
Yeah Berman was a misogynistic jerk but she wanted out to go to Becker.
I get that. What I’m saying is that she wanted to go to Becker because Berman was a jerk.
